. . . the stage parents who allowed their young kids to be cast in this “rendition” of a scene from “Scarface,” complete with constant use of the word, “fudge,” as in “mother-fudger” and “fudge you,” as well as machine guns and murder. Although it’s NOT a school play as labeled (that part is a hoax), the kids were cast in this video by Mark Klasfeld and Rockhard Films, who made Lady Gaga’s “Pokerface” video. (Get an original idea, Mark. It’s been done already, in a much more classy way, via 1976’s “Bugsy Malone.”)

But it really doesn’t matter that it’s not a school play, nor that it was staged for money via a casting call and Hollywood agents. These kids can’t be more than eight, nine, or ten years old. Just terrif that they’re being introduced–and desensitized–to this crap at such a young age. It’s hardly the same thing as playing cops and robbers with toy guns. Not even close. Whether or not the kids are “professional actors” is a distinction without a difference.

Say hello to my leetle child abuse. . .

Hey, maybe next, these young ingenues can do “Last Tango in Paris” or “Showgirls.” I mean, it’s only a play, and the kids are professional actors . . . right? What could possibly be the harm?

…Have you never seen things like Halloween? Daeg Faerch played age 10 Michael Meyers. He killed rats with knives, beat a kid to death with a stick, killed his “father” and sister by stabbing them, killed his sister’s boyfriend by beating him with a baseball bat, and a nurse-lady by stabbing her with a fork… that’s about the same amount of people the other actor kills while playing adult Meyers.
